]]>We’re alive and well in the twenty-second century. Those who read about our ancestors learn all about the primitive procedures that they employed to self-improve. Can it be that rhinoplasty and nose jobs were complicated and often painful surgeries that required hospitalization?

Let’s come back to the present. You’ve decided that you’re unhappy with the way you look, especially because it doesn’t make you feel good about yourself. It’s time to make a trip to the Surgery Store and see what’s out there for your improved self-esteem.

Maybe it will be an eye color change. Or what about the growth enhancement? You’ve always wanted to be taller so maybe it’s time for the spine stretcher maneuver. It may require some new clothes but that’s the price you pay for adaptability.

Here’s the ticket just for you! It’s the cosmetic surgery booth and you can choose your new schnoz. Should it be straight and dignified? Should it be short and pert? Or should it be something more creative? All the available noses are on display. What you need to do is pick one, have a seat and let the magic commence.

Before you proceed, however, you ask the cosmetic surgeon about wearing your glasses after the procedure is complete. You still need to work, after all, and our technology hasn’t yet created invisible corrective lenses other than contacts.

Happily, someone long ago invented RhinoShields, a method by which you can resume wearing your eyeglasses immediately after surgery. Due to this creative and adaptable product, your sensitive (new) nose tissues are protected from any possible damages associated with wearing the glasses.

The decision has been made! It’s time for a new nose, a redesign of your face and the beginning of an enhanced identity. All we need to do now is use the Surgery Store apparatus to place each nose option on your face to see which one is the best. Isn’t technology terrific!

]]>There’s nothing inherently amusing about noses, nose jobs or rhinoplasty. But for a change of pace, it might be fun and interesting to see how often the nose appears in conversation and literature. Here are some extremely relevant comments about noses.

Mathematics are well and good, but Nature keeps dragging us around by the nose. Albert Einstein

It has been observed that one’s nose is never so happy as when thrust into the affairs of others from which some physiologists have drawn the inference that the nose is devoid of the sense of smell. Ambrose Bierce

Richard Burton came from the same town as me so I thought I’d follow my nose, and follow my luck. I think I’ve been very lucky. Anthony Hopkins

Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.

Follow your nose.

It’s no skin off my nose.

Keep your nose to the grindstone.

Look down your nose.

Nose around.

Win by a nose.

I never thrust my nose into other men’s porridge. It is no bread and butter of mine. Every man for himself and God for us all. Miguel De Cervantes

]]>Did you know that women in the middle ages had their noses removed as symbols of promiscuity or disobedience? In the 10th century, the Kingdom of Jerusalem punished adultery by cutting off the nose. As recently as 2010. Time Magazine published a story about a 12-year old girl who was sold to a Taliban fighter and attempted to run away. The punishment was to remove her nose and ears. Thankfully, she was rescued by aid workers and brought to the US.

History also describes the various methods by which rhinoplasties have been completed. While ivory had been used for other prostheses, the human body rejected it for rhinoplasties. Paraffin was used in the early 20th century but it tended to shift and frequently caused cancer. Since then, surgical procedures have improved greatly.

There is a huge body of literature concerning the symbolism of the nose. Think about Pinocchio. Written in 1883, The Adventures of Pinocchio is directly associated with the nose and analysts suggest that the fact that the nose is prominently in the middle of Pinocchio’s face make it the best possible location for a moral compass.

And in the well-known and widely read The Great Gatsby, the nose is frequently referenced, with great significance to class and race. To F. Scott Fitzgerald, the nose took a prominent role in the social strata of early twentieth-century culture. For example, he described gangster Mayer Wolfschiem as a, “small, flat-nosed Jew,” playing into the racial (negative) images of Jews as greedy and unpleasant.

In another example, Fitzgerald has one of the book’s characters smash another in the nose, symbolizing the end of her dreams for upward mobility as represented by a dignified nose.

Back to the present tense, rhinoplasty has become an extremely popular surgery. Out of the 15.6 million cosmetic procedures in 2014, the only procedure with greater popularity was breast augmentation.

You’re doing it for purely cosmetic reasons or because your doctor has recommended it for a physical condition. No matter the reason, it might be fun to check out these lists to see the company in which you find yourself.

To begin, here’s a partial list of celebrities who have undergone rhinoplasty.

If you were feeling vain about your rhinoplasty, just think of the many processes that you could have been doing. And if you wear glasses, don’t forget your RhinoShields that will be extremely valuable to your recovery.

]]>Because this is the RhinoShields website, it makes good sense that those who stop here are planning a rhinoplasty or recovering from one. If neither of those is true, welcome anyway!

The twentieth or twenty-first centuries are not the only ones that have witnessed nasal surgeries. As it turns out, people have been going to nasal surgeries of diverse types for centuries.

Think about the thousands of ways that we anguish over or take care of our bodies. We drink things, apply things, shape things and do many acts on an ongoing basis, simply for the sake or relieving or approaching anxieties about our bodies. Surgery is another one of those approaches, with rhinoplasty being one of the most obvious.

We can find history of fixing undesirable noses going back to the sixth century BCE. At that time, a portion of the patient’s skin was removed from the cheek to form a new nose. And as a result of the 16th century syphilis epidemic that often resulted in tissue decay and a hole in the face, new noses were created through several methods, including taking skin from the arm and grafting it to the face.

By the late 19th century, plastic surgery began to become popular in North America. People believed that certain facial features detracted from the commonly found definition of beauty and doctors began cutting and sculpting to create socially acceptable faces. It’s interesting to observe that very often, noses were often built up instead of taken down.

When we began to see facial disfigurements for veterans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, facial reconstruction became more and more common, including advancements in anesthesia and techniques. Because of the limitations of plastic surgery for serious facial damage, World War I saw the London General Hospital establishing the Masks for Facial Disfigurement Department or Tin Noses Shop.

European and American doctors collaborated to create individual metallic masks to cover missing or deformed eyes, jaws, lips and noses of wounded men. If you’ve seen some of the most recent plastic surgeries, you can probably draw comparisons to the wearing of masks.

Stay tuned. We’ll be coming back with more developments in the history of rhinoplasty and cosmetic surgery.

]]>Rhonda Shoehorn was a normal, average office worker who spent her days in a traditional office. Every day, she got out of bed, took a shower, applied a bit of make-up, ate a light breakfast, put on her glasses and went to work.

Once she arrived at work, Rhonda Shoehorn did her work quickly and quietly. She rarely spoke to others but always showed up, did her job and returned home.

One day, everyone showed up at work except for Rhonda. Her co-workers looked at her desk and chair and couldn’t help noticing that she was missing. They knew that they couldn’t ask human resources because they weren’t allowed to disclose anything about Rhonda Shoehorn’s whereabouts.

Several weeks later, Rhonda finally reappeared. She looked a little different, but no-one could identify anything specific except that she wasn’t wearing her glasses.

When Rhonda looked at her computer screen, she made certain that it was expanded as much as possible, so the fonts were very large. But throughout the day, Rhonda would walk into desks and chairs, bump the water cooler and ask people to identify themselves. It was clear that she needed her glasses, but no-one would dare ask her why she wasn’t wearing them.

One day, Rhonda Shoehorn showed up at work and found a packet labeled, “RhinoShields” on her desk. She was mystified because there were no notes or signatures on the packet. But Rhonda opened the package, read the instructions and applied one to her nose. She could immediately resume wearing her glasses. What a miracle!

To this day, no-one knows who put the packet on her desk or knew that she had undergone the rhinoplasty. The only clue was some fairy dust with the initials, “RS” that was on her desk. She continues to wonder if it was a secret message for her or an anonymous gift from the RhinoShields fairy.

]]>Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, lived two adorable young people, a boy and a girl. His name was Handset and hers was Gigabyte. They lived in a small village and spent a great deal of time together, wandering through the forest and learning what they could from their surroundings.

One day, Handset and Gigabyte were walking through the Bandwidth forest and spotted something shiny that was protruding through one of the bushes. Handset quickly retrieved the object but couldn’t figure out what it was.

“My goodness, Gigabyte,” he said. “Whatever could this be?”

“Well, it’s plastic and very thin,” Gigabyte replied. “Maybe it’s part of a flash drive. Or maybe it’s part of an LED bulb. I just don’t know.”

Because they were responsible and intelligent youngsters, they knew that they needed to find the owner of this magic item. They knocked on the doors of several of their neighbors’ homes, but no-one had an idea what it was or to whom it belonged.

Finally, Handset and Gigabyte knocked on the door of old Mrs. Cassette. She had lived there many, many years and didn’t speak to too many people. After a long while, she opened the door to the two children.

“What do you want?” she barked. “I was sleeping.”

Handset showed her the plastic package and indicated that they had found it in the Bandwidth forest.

“Oh, my God!” she exclaimed. “These are my RhinoShields that I got after my nose surgery. Without them, I can’t wear my glasses!”

The children happily turned over the RhinoShields to old Mrs. Cassette. She was so very grateful that she invited them in for a snack. But it was close to dinnertime and Handset and Gigabyte had to return home.

Mrs. Cassette thanked them over and over, her face wrinkled and beaming. Handset and Gigabyte returned home and they all lived happily ever after.

]]>Once upon a time there was a young girl named Penelope. She was a sweet and intelligent girl who attended school every day, worked very hard and completed all of her homework on time. Her teachers knew that she was a dedicated and very smart girl who was destined to be successful when she grew up.

One sad day, Penelope learned that she had to have surgery on her little nose in order to improve her breathing. Penelope was distraught because she wore glasses and her doctor had warned that she wouldn’t be able to wear her glasses after the surgery.

Penelope begged and pleaded. “Please don’t do this surgery! I’ll do breathing exercises to make my nose work better. I’ll do anything at all. Please don’t make me do this.”

The doctor understood and explained that it would be a simple procedure and she would be as good as new in a short time. He promised that he would tell her as soon as it was safe to begin wearing her glasses again.

Penelope was heartbroken and wandered throughout her home, going silently from one room to another. Finally, she ventured to her back yard and sat down upon a bench that was under the huge maple tree. Mulch to her surprise, a glass bottle was on the ground next to her bench.

She had read enough stories about magic genies and through she had nothing to lose, so she furiously rubbed the bottle. Suddenly and happily, the genie appeared and immediately took a seat next to Penelope.

“You look sad, Penelope. What’s wrong” said the genie.

“I’m having surgery on my nose and won’t be able to wear my glasses. School is very important to me and I won’t be able to do my homework without glasses.” Big, fat tears began to roll down her face.

“Don’t worry, Penelope. I have magic to share with you. The magic is RhinoShields and they can be placed on your nose as soon as your doctor says it’s safe. Before you know it, you’ll be able to wear your glasses again.”

“Oh, Genie. You’re the best. You’ve solved all of my problems. How can I ever thank you?”

“Just continue being the wonderful girl that you are. That’s all the thanks I need.”

With that, the genie disappeared, returning quickly to the glass bottle.

Penelope’s problems were solved. She made certain to tell her doctor about RhinoShields, he had them ready for her and everyone lived happily ever after.

]]>Once upon a time a young boy named Smart Nose was walking through the forest. He wasn’t looking for anything or anyone in particular but thought he would spend the day admiring the trees and flowers and small animals that inhabited the forest.

All of a sudden Smart Nose took a sharp turn in the forest and what did he see ahead of him but a giant creature with four feet, a scaly body and a very long beak. Smart Nose attempted to turn around, but he heard the creature speak and he was frozen in his tracks.

“Who are you and why are you in my forest?” the creature bellowed.

“My name is Smart Nose,” replied the boy. “I live nearby and was merely spending the day enjoying the trees and flowers and tiny living creatures. Who are you?”

“I am Rhinoplasty,” answered the monster. “My duty is to make changes on creatures large and small such as yourself. But I am a sad monster, in spite of my magnificent size and features.”

“Why are you sad?” asked the boy. “It appears that you have everything you need to make you happy.”

“Well, you see, it’s like this. Whenever I use my magic powers to change the noses on people such as you, they can’t wear their glasses because the nose tissues are sensitive and subject to damage.” Rhinoplasty shook his large head and several gigantic tears dropped down his face.

“Guess what!” said the boy. “There’s a terrific invention out there called RhinoShield. It allows people to wear their glasses without worrying about the damage to their noses. It’s thin, flexible and washable. And the best part is that it’s easily affordable!”

Rhinoplasty was very pleased indeed. When Smart Nose showed him the RhinoShield, he roared and giggled with pleasure.

“All my problems are solved,” said the creature. “Together we can improve noses and allow people to use their glasses. You have made me so happy.”

With that, Smart Nose and Rhinoplasty walked hand in paw, bringing joy and happiness to all they encountered.
